Briggs' solution is, of course, specific to the DEC Vax compiler. This
is an issue addressed by Ada9X (if it made the 'cut'). In general,
addresses and access values are not the same, and unchecked
conversions between them can cause very serious portability problems.
The URG is currently studying the issue of access to address
conversions, but we have no specific recommendation yet.
